The old way vs the new way of clothes collections
4 Types of collections
Many people choose to give away their unwanted items and support others in need. To make it easier for you, we offer several different types of collections to suit your individual preferences.
- Clothing Donation
Collections we arrange are straight from your door. For ‘Clothing Donations’ previously you receive a plastic charity bag through your letter box with marked collection day. With the Collect4all app’ simply, put your pre-loved items in a bag (or box) and we will come to pick them up. We take clothes, shoes and brick-a-brac. Please indicate on the bag or box which charity you would like to support.
How it works?
There are still two ways of clothing donation collections: The original way:
- Receive a plastic bag from a particular charity
- Bag your unwanted items
- We will pick them up on the day marked on charity bag
Or
Greener solution:
- Download the app
- Fill in some simple details
- Request a collection day that suits YOU.
- Choose the charity you want to support
- We will come to collect your items

- School collections
Usually, parents are asked to contribute financially when it comes around to a school event or purchases of necessary equipment. Not all families have an opportunity to support their children’s school financially. However we have a solution! Giving away unwanted clothes can provide direct financial support for your local school.
How it works?
It is as simple as it sounds:
- Bag up your unwanted items
- Request a collection through the app choosing ‘School Collections’ type
- We will do the rest!
The more we collect from your area, the more schools in your postcode could benefit. For example, 1 bag of donated clothes can support a school with up to £3 (depending on quality and bag weight). Importantly, generated funds from your unwanted items go directly to schools’ funds.
